Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical slate roof repairs requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: careful repairs and re-fixing on older slate roofs, matching original slate and fixing methods
- Suburban homes: replacing a few cracked or slipped slates after a storm on a family home roof
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: fast slate repairs on hotel and restaurant roofs to stop leaks over trading areas
- Townhouses and complexes: repairing shared slate roofs in a complex, usually arranged through the managing agent or body corporate
- New builds and developments: snagging slate work on a new roof before handover, such as loose or chipped slates
- Security and golf estates: repairs on estate roofs that must match the colour and layout agreed with the committee
